We have a tight set of product requirements and are seeking two fulltime full stack Rails devs to help us build it.  Estimating the contract length will be 6 months to build the MVP, give or take.

No code has been written yet but I&#x27;m considering using Jumpstart Rails.<p>Looking for product-focused devs who think about the end user scenarios, self manage, communicate well and often, and are fluent in written and spoken english.  We&#x27;ll use GitHub, Shortcut (or maybe Linear), and Email to run the project, and Zoom if we need to go sync.<p>It&#x27;s a pretty dev-friendly gig:<p>- no legacy code to deal with<p>- we&#x27;ll use modern tools + tech<p>- some interesting tech with the hybrid apps<p>- no daily standups<p>- async communication<p>- I&#x27;m a dev and your main point of contact (and I&#x27;ve been building w&#x2F; Rails since 2007)<p>Please email hn@reemer.com with subject &quot;Loadspace Rails dev&quot;.

We just raised a $10m series A and are growing quickly.<p>We’ve decided to rebuild our developer documentation platform from scratch with Gatsby, TypeScript and Chakra UI, and we’re looking for an experienced full-stack or front-end-with-some-back-end-experience engineer to lead the effort.<p>The docs team is young – in fact, it’s just me[1] – so you’ll be working directly with me as the product owner, PM, and backup architect. Communication is important, so you’ll want to be comfortable on camera, but mostly we’ll stay in touch asynchronously over Slack.<p>As a fellow engineer, I basically just want to aim you and get out of your way. If you enjoy building cool, useful stuff with minimal interruptions, this is the gig for you.<p>In short:<p><pre><code>  • Lean, greenfield project
  • Modern tech (and you’ll have influence over technology choices as well)
  • No legacy code or boring team meetings
  • Asynchronous comms
  • Project or weekly rates are fine
  • Remote
